    Arguments:
        optimizer: base optimizer such as Adam or SGD
        clip_grad: clip gradeints with this global L2 norm. Note
            that clipping is ignored if clip_grad == 0
        log_num_zeros_in_grad: return number of zeros in the gradients.
        params_have_main_grad: flag indicating if parameters have
            a `main_grad` field. If this is set, we are assuming
            that the model parameters are store in the `main_grad`
            field instead of the typical `grad` field. This happens
            for the DDP cases where there is a continuous buffer
            holding the gradients. For example for bfloat16, we want
            to do gradient accumulation and all-reduces in float32
            and as a result we store those gradients in the main_grad.
            Note that main grad is not necessarily in float32.
        use_contiguous_buffers_in_local_ddp: if true, the local DDP model
            is using a contiguous buffer to hold the model grads.
        fp16: if true, the model is running in fp16.
        bf16: if true, the model is running in bfloat16.
        grad_scaler: used for scaling gradients. Note that this can be
            None. This case happens when `bf16 = True` and we don't
            use any loss scale. Note that for `bf16 = True`, we can have
            a constnat gradient scaler. Also for `bf16 = False`, we
            always require a grad scaler.
        models: list of models (i.e., the virtual pipelining models). This
            is used by the distributed optimizer for mapping parameters.

        Build mapping from param reference to grad buffer shard ranges.

        This method builds a mapping from parameter references to grad
        buffer shard ranges, specific to each data-parallel (DP) rank's
        set of 'owned' parameters. Each grad buffer (padded to be an even
        multiple of DP-world-size) is conceptually divided into DP-world-size
        contiguous regions, where each DP rank 'owns' a contiguous regions.
        Ownership in this sense means DP rank is responsible for reducing
        the relevant subset of grads, and updating the relevant subset of
        params.

        This conceptual partitioning of the grad buffer does NOT respect
        parameter boundaries, and as such it is assumed that each created
        range references a shard (or subset) of the full parameter. It is
        easiest to think of each DP rank as operating (i.e., reducing,
        gathering) purely on views into the grad buffer, for all model-to-
        main & main-to-model operations.

        This method creates three ranges:
        - The param's range within the entire grad buffer (i.e., world index).
        - The param's range within the DP rank's local view of the grad buffer.
